When to Suntec City - Expo yesterday to collect my race pace for tomorrow's full marathon competition.... Feeling nervous and guilty (did not really put in effort in training). The only thing now that i can do is to mentally prepare myself for the run and also during the run itself -
pace myself well...
Timing is not a matter for me now it is the crossing over the finishing line and also the exposure that counts.
Thanks to all who have counsel, advise and encourage me :)

Headed home and went down to Funan IT Mall (Running Lab) to purchases the waist pouch for water bottle... I just buy it and i dont think that i can wear tomorrow because it will add on weight for me. Thanks to the boss of the running lab who provided me advices on my marathon.
He told me that "since you have not being running regularly then start off down and maintain throughout" He mentioned to me after my race go find him to update him...
